Exegesis
The prepositional phrase lo {ל֛וֹ | lō} identifies the recipient, and the particle et {אֶת־ | ’eṯ-} signals the direct object.
The construct chain beriti shalom {בְּרִיתִ֖י שָׁלוֹם | bə-rîṯî šā-lōm} tightly binds “my covenant” to “peace,” specifying the covenant’s nature. This sequence creates a legal-proclamatory structure that emphasizes both the divine initiative and the relational bond established through the covenant.
Root and etymology
ב־ר־ת
“to bind (a pact)”
In context — Numbers 25:12
Therefore say, “Behold, I am giving him my covenant of peace.”
